Top Hawai‘i Realtor Reviews, Big Island Real Estate
Read what buyers and sellers have shared about working with Penn Henderson throughout Kona, Kohala, Waikoloa Village, Waimea, and communities across the Big Island.
REMOTE BUYER, KEAUHOU
“Even though we began working with Penn remotely from the mainland, the distance was never a factor. He was professional, deeply knowledgeable, highly available, and took the time to understand our unique needs.”
HOUSE OR CONDO, KONA
“Penn gave us excellent perspective on condo developments and neighborhoods. After working remotely from Colorado, we arrived in Kona, toured numerous properties over four days, and were able to make an offer on a home.”
REMOTE SELLER, SOUTH KONA
“Penn made what could have been a very stressful remote sale feel manageable. We never had to travel from California, and he handled the on-island details, guidance, and communication every step of the way.”
MULTI-OFFER WIN, WAIKOLOA
“Penn was on top of everything. He found us the best home for our needs and helped us secure it in a challenging, high-demand market. He was professional, friendly, and responsive throughout the process.”
REMOTE HOME SEARCH, KONA
“Penn was calm, knowledgeable, helpful, and never pushy. After more than a year of searching from Atlanta, he knew exactly what we wanted and helped us secure the right Kona home.”
OFF-ISLAND BUYER, KEAUHOU
“Penn’s process for off-island buyers worked spectacularly. He was patient, honest, and forthright when he did not think a property was right for us. I would recommend him without hesitation.”
CONDO SELLER, KAILUA-KONA
“From my first inquiry through closing, Penn handled every detail promptly and professionally. With my own background in real estate, I can honestly say he is as good as they get.”
BIG ISLAND HOME SELLER
“Penn went above and beyond to get our property visible and on the market quickly. He listened, remained calm when issues arose, kept me informed, and always made himself available.”
HOLUALOA BUYER AGENT
Penn is detailed, strategic, and genuinely cares about his clients. He helped me win in a multiple-offer situation and kept the transaction moving smoothly despite challenges on the seller’s side.”
Big Island Real Estate Success Stories
Every client’s path is different. Some are buying their first home, while others are searching from thousands of miles away for a property they hope to keep in the family for generations. My role is to understand what matters most, provide honest guidance, and stay closely involved from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
Finding Their Legacy Home at Mauna Lani
Susie and Kelly reached out to me while searching remotely for their dream home at Mauna Lani Resort. Over the following year, I shared properties, market insight, and personalized video tours so they could evaluate each opportunity from afar. One tour inspired them to fly to the Big Island, and after several rounds of negotiation, we secured an exceptional legacy property within the coveted 49 Black Sand Beach enclave. The relationship did not end at closing. We have remained close friends and still connect almost every week.
“Penn is not only a true professional, but a genuinely good person. We’re grateful to have found him as our Realtor and value the relationship we built through the process.”
Her Long-Awaited First Home in Kona
Buying a first home in Kona can feel overwhelming, especially when every part of the process is new. I helped Bree work through the questions, deadlines, and decisions, one step at a time, ensuring she understood the process and felt supported throughout the purchase. Watching her reach a milestone she had worked so hard for was especially rewarding.
“I always felt I could trust Penn, reach out to him, and have confidence that he would show up. He made home buying that much easier.”
